As many as one in 20 Floridians, a million people, could be expelled from the country under a mass deportation plan that is a cornerstone of former president Donald Trump's campaign, according to a report released by a Washington think tank and immigration advocacy group.

FTA:

"The American Immigration Council, based in Washington D.C., put numbers to Trump's sweeping plan to deport 13.3 million undocumented or otherwise removable immigrants in the United States should he return to the White House. The immigration advocacy think tank found that the policy would be economically devastating for Florida, one of the states with the largest foreign-born populations, as well as for the country overall.:

A million less Floridians isn't the best argument for me.

That actually sounds pretty good

Supplemental article:

Do Americans who support mass deportation, detention camps know what it would be like?

The writer Radley Balko--who was years ahead of the pack on the issue of militarized policing in America-- wrote in his newsletter back in May that Trump's call to deport 15 million immigrants would round up more people than experts believe are currently in the United States without documentation (likely closer to 11 million). To reach that target, Trump's mass deportation would likely include millions now here legally " the "Dreamers" brought to America as children, others currently with protected status such as Haitians, even family members of the undocumented.

The 15 million figure, Balko noted, is larger than the entire population of Pennsylvania. It would be the largest forced migration of human beings since " you guessed it " World War II. The size of the operation to deport this many people would be similarly unbelievable. He noted that the most conservative cost figures for deportation bring a price tag of at least $210 billion, or more than we spend on the entire U.S. Army. The logistics of buses, housing, and other necessary infrastructure both for migrants but also Trump's deportation army are incomprehensible.

"You don't even try something like this unless you aspire to have an authoritarian government behind you," a Tennessee immigrant-rights advocate, Lisa Sherman Luna, told Balko. "You're talking about soldiers marching through neighborhoods across the country, pulling families out of their homes."

13.3 million?
I thought the MAGAs were saying there were 10, no 15, no 25 million that came in while Biden was President!
This just doesn't add up!

Fact: There were (estimated) 10.5 million when Trump took office.

Now there's only 13.3 million?

My oh my. Someone's not being honest! Who could that be?

Just imagine the nation's mindset when pictures like this are hitting the news on a daily basis.

ALSO

Polls: Trump's family separation policy is very unpopular " except among Republicans
One finds 66 percent of Americans opposed and only 27 percent in favor.

Americans were freaked out over 5000 or so children separated from their families.

Mass Deportation is family separations on steroids to the infinite power.

Americans aren't too bright. Magats want something but the reality is they won't want this.

AND

This says nothing of the destruction it will have on our economy.

If they are here illegally, unvetted, costing our kids their education, harming our healthcare, and costing every American for food and housing and our quality of life, they need sent back just as other countries would do to us.

"Mass Deportation is family separations on steroids to the infinite power."

Well, not exactly:

On Sunday, Tom Homan, the one-time cop and former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Trump, appeared on 60 Minutes to sell the plan as not potentially catastrophic. Homan, the "architect" of family separation who said he didn't "give a ----" about being sued over the infamous practice, has been defiantly positioning himself as the man to get the job done.

"Trump comes back in January, I'll be on his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen," he said at the National Conservatism conference in Washington, DC, in July. "They ain't seen ---- yet. Wait until 2025."

Cecilia Vega asks: "Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?"

"Of course there is. Families can be deported together," says Tom Homan, head of ICE during Trump's family separation policy.

I don't know. It sounds like they will give people an option: If you want to stay together as a family, we will deport you together.

It wasn't my word. It was the Harris campaign's, and I think it was meant as sarcasm.

"13.3 million?

There are probably 25M+ illegals when you count illegals, visa overstays, and the temp legal status people Biden has imported over the last 4 years. Of course, we would have an accurate count if the Democrats did not block it in the census.

"Fact: There were (estimated) 10.5 million when Trump took office."

Except this is not a fact.

thehill.com

Yep, that is 22M pre-Biden's open border policy as calculated by MIT and Yale.

"Now there's only 13.3 million?"

Nope we probably have closer to 30M now.

If Trump gets elected and tries to carry out his plan, lots of MAGA Latino voters are going to be saying, "Oh, I didn't think he meant me, my husband, my mother, my cousin." It will be a very cruel and life-changing revelation that comes too late for some of them:

Trump's deportation army

The former president's vow to deport 15 million people is the cruelest, most illiberal, most openly authoritarian campaign promise in modern U.S. history. Oh, and it would also destroy the economy.

One might have thought you'd have learned your lesson about predicting elections from the Minor Drip you got rather than a Red Wave, barely holding serve.

The truly hilarious part is that you have just enough money to think you are something special, not truly wealthy, yet someone who is also stupid enough to support a billionaires tax cut bigger than your measly tax cut.

Dumb Trumpers are a dime a dozen, and over-priced at that.

He is not going to do it.

He will deport some with cameras rolling to give his garbage some red meat.

He is not going to destroy the FL housing market with a million vacancies.

He is not going to destroy the FL farming and construction industries by deporting 20% of their workforce.

He is blowing smoke up yer asses and you fall for it every time.

Gotta love the self-own by Deadman - and THANKS!

The researchers emphasized the new number does not imply a growth in illegal immigration but a longstanding miscount of existing undocumented immigrants.

"We wouldn't want people to walk away from this research thinking that suddenly there's a large influx happening now," said Feinstein. "It's really something that happened in the past and maybe was not properly counted or documented."

The researchers also noted if the undocumented population is twice as high as previous estimates, that means the incidence of criminality among undocumented immigrants is half as high as previously reported. (which, BTW was 2-3 times lower already than the criminality of US Citizens IIRC from the Texas analysis.)

Again: "You have the same number of crimes but now spread over twice as many people as was believed before, which right away means that the crime rate among undocumented immigrants is essentially half whatever was previously believed," said Kaplan.

And yet the answer to all our problems (if you're a Republican) is to deport all of them. Brilliant!

#30 - True. Disgusting human garbage that he is. Attacking women, trafficking his future wives in while he's having affairs. Peeping at teenage girls at the beauty pageants, and grabbing others by their p***ys - or just pinning them to the wall and digitally raping them. Like he said today - he's "going to protect women, whether they like it or not!"
